Lucy Walthoe, MSc, MUKCP

 

Welcome and thank you for visiting my website. I’m Lucy, an experienced UKCP-registered humanistic psychotherapist offering a warm, safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore what matters to you and find your own, sustainable way through difficulty. Sometimes life is hard and we lose faith in ourselves. That’s when dedicated support and a willingness to be curious about ourselves can open fresh ways of living. 

​

How I support

My therapy works by supporting you to build a more compassionate understanding of yourself over time, in the safety of our relationship. I work relationally, meaning our work together is grounded in mutual respect, openness and a readiness to be curious. I am a trained as an integrative therapist and I tailor my offering to your unique needs and strengths. Find out more about how I work here.

I support clients in all life stages with a diverse range of issues and questions. I welcome exploratory enquiries, whatever is troubling you. Areas in my practice, among others, include:

​​

• Anxiety and depression

• Grief, loss and life transitions

• Relationship and intimacy challenges
